Interior Painting

I am an interior residential painter - anything from plain white to patterns with all the colors of the rainbow.

I've been doing interior painting work for the last 8 years. I take on all sorts of projects, from white walls to artstic projects.

I enjoy being a part of the design process, and helping decide which colors work for you.

I charge $35/h per worker (I have a small team of 1-2 people I work with on bigger projects.)

I also get a discount on most paint, and forward the savings onto you!

I work primarily in Santa Rosa, although for the cost of my travel time, I can make exceptions. Contact me to talk about your job.

Stenciling

Using rollers and a stencil, I was able to paint the stenciling on this wall in one day.

The number of available stencils on the internet is endless.

2 Colors, easier than it looks!

3 Colors on a textured wall, no pattern.

4 Colors in the same palate.

There are 2 of us who paint murals, me & my business partner Katie.

Each person working is $35/h

We take a projector, trace the image on the wall, and then paint. We do pre-selected images as well as create our own designs.

This was the final result in her hallway

Using rollers and paint brushes, I finished this wall up in 2 days. (Ombre takes way longer than a single color!)

This technique can be used with any colors, and produces an aged look.

I'll never tell! :)

I really love the ocean and wanted to make my studio feel like it was underwater.

Using dry-brush strokes, I was able to give the walls a messy ombre look that I was very happy with.

The bookshelves also go from light blue to dark, and I painted the dark green furniture in the room to match the baseboard colors.

Stencil, because I like octopuses!

This is one of my favorite walls in my house. Done with 3 colors of paint and polyurethane, sponges, and cloth.

If you haven't already decided what you want, I love helping choose colors and the look that you want. I have a great eye for color.
Prepping the room is important - it helps protect your furniture and floors. It takes time but it's worth it.
I bring all materials with me for painting up to a 15' wall. (That's the highest I go). I don't paint anything where I have to put a tall ladder over any kind of stairs.
I don't use oil paints, only water-based latex paints. If your previous paint job is older, it might have been painted with oil-based paints. Painting over oil-based paints requires additional work, and requires light sanding, TSP cleaning, and a special primer (depending on the sheen of the oil-based paint.) To test to determine whether your paint is oil-based or water-based, simply put some methylated spirits on a rag and wipe at a small section of your wall. If the cloth is stained with the wall color, it is water-based.
If your home is older than 1978, your paint may be lead-based. Kits are available to test your walls. If your paint is in poor condition, it may be unsafe to paint over. If this is the case, we can chat options.
Your best bet is to text me and set up a free estimate to talk about what you want. Looking forward to helping you finish your home improvement project!
